That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does Asadero Prime - Ballard serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki A5, A5 Japanese, Australian and American. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- How was Asadero Prime - Ballard verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef.
